Pardon our mess: Traffic island on Mike Padgett Highway

WHAT: A concrete channelizing island does not have yellow paint or reflectors on it, which makes it hard to see, especially at night. Large chips in the concrete show how frequently drivers strike the island, many thinking the outside lane extends to the Bobby Jones Expressway ramps.

WHO’S RESPONSIBLE: Georgia Department of Transportation

ACTION PROMISED: Spokeswoman Cissy McNure said the issue has been put on DOT’s high priority list. District Traffic Engineer Kendrick Collins has said the department will evaluate the issue at the first available opportunity.
